How to: Party on Halloween When You're Just Not Feeling Up to It

By: Alexandra Ditoro

Halloween college parties have a reputation of being wild and crazy, but sometimes we are just tired. Sometimes all we want to do is sit down with snacks and a drink, watch a movie and go to bed.

My roommates and I hosted a party on Halloween where we had donuts and apple cider (or hard cider for those who were 21), and streamed The Nightmare Before Christmas on Hulu. It was a very casual event and when midnight hit, we all went our separate ways. For me, that way was to go to bed.

Just getting together and hanging out was great and fun for a Wednesday night. Some of us had 8am classes, some had exams and some were just exhausted.

Being able to stream The Nightmare Before Christmas made it even more fun. It was nostalgic for many as it was a childhood tradition to watch for my roommate and a couple other. It brought us together and gave us a reason to hang out and enjoy our Halloween without having to really go out.
